Find Ancestors

Hi, I would really appreciate any information on the above Philip Holmes. His father was W Holmes MRCS but I don't know what the W stands for or what his moter's name was. I found a snippet on line with details of what schools he went to and that he was a Corporal in the RAF 1941-45 possibly in India or Burma. I would like to know if he married or had any children or if he had any siblings that may have had children. Many thanks. :-)

Not got a clue where Castle Ward is?

Hi, It is in Northumberland.

Hi Carol. Which Castle Ward as there are a few. Thanks

Could this be him? Father is a medical practitioner:

Hi Jansmith, thanks very much - you are all so clever! :-D

Wow! Thank you all. Would it be possible to fnd out if Philip Holmes was some kind of medic in the RAF?

His RAF service record would only be available to his direct descendants.

If you bought his death certificate perhaps his occupation would give you a clue.

Hi Rootgatherer, yes I think I will have to do that. Many thanks. :-)
